Chapter 198

After five consecutive leaps, his form moved as if spanning distanceless miles—one step, a hundred meters—arriving instantly behind the King of Owls.

He looked at the King of Owls' massive body.

Luo Chenyu's face twisted into a cruel expression.

Then…

Barbaric Charge!!

Before the King of Owls could react, Luo Chenyu stunned it, and its massive body helplessly plummeted toward the ground.

The next instant!

Simultaneously, a mysterious, ethereal aurora descended from the heavens!

In a flash, it engulfed the King of Owls and several nearby Owls.

Aurora—532,522,000!

Aurora—365,503,000 (Blocked)!

Aurora, Critical Hit—1,150,000,000!

…

Waves of damage erupted directly; Luo Chenyu clearly saw the blocked damage hovering above the King of Owls' head.

But…

So what? The King of Owls was merely a Tier 5 Abyss Boss; even with bloodline power enabling Tier 7 spells, it could not withstand such horrific damage.

"Ding, you slay Level 72 Nightmare Elite Mob 【Day's Owl Guard】, gain 350,000 experience points!"

"Ding, you slay Level 72 Nightmare Elite Mob 【Night's Owl Guard】, gain 350,000 experience points!"

"Ding, you slay Level 75 Abyss Boss 【King of Owls·Amoka】, gain 5,700,000 experience points!"

"Ding, …"

Beneath the aurora, all Owls within a 150-meter radius were slain, their corpses even erased by the terrifying aurora.

The aurora shimmered with dazzling radiance.

A magnificent funeral!

For past enemies!

As Luo Chenyu willed it, he collected the Dropped Items.

"Pity—the attack was too fierce, destroyed the corpses entirely; otherwise, the King of Owls' body should've been worth a fortune."

He sighed helplessly.

He paid no mind to the fleeing Owl horde, his gaze fixed on the direction from which the King of Owls had come…

He stepped into the void and departed.

Leaving behind a group of stunned players.

"Slayed… instantly?"

"What skill was that? So damn terrifying—and even more terrifying… I actually want to go inside and see!"

"Same! That beam of light was so beautiful!"

"God, come look at the immortal!"

"Appeared silently, vanished silently—even the King of Owls vanished without a trace… Was that a forbidden spell?"

"What the hell is a forbidden spell? If it were, we'd all be reset even standing this far away!"

"Damn… that… that guy… is… is Luo Shen!!"

"What? How could it be Luo Shen!!"

"I had a friend watching at the entrance of 【Ninefold Abyss】 yesterday—he bragged to me this morning, and the skill's effect matches his description at least nine-tenths!"

"No way… really Luo Shen?"

"Is the internet rumor true? Does Luo Shen really have power rivaling Tier 7?"

"Gh… this kid… is terrifying!"

………………

Deep within Yangshan stood the fifth-highest peak in the Longshan City Realm.

And this was the King of Owls' lair.

Yet Luo Chenyu stood at the mountain's base, staring at the scene before him, momentarily stunned.

"Here… why are there signs of human activity?"

His gaze swept the area.

A stone staircase, artificially built, lay hidden within the dense forest; had he not landed here by accident, he'd never have noticed it.

Confused, Luo Chenyu stepped onto Stone Steps and entered the forest.

He hadn't taken a few steps.

Blades of wind surged from both sides of the stone staircase toward him.

Swish!

Swish!

Luo Chenyu did not dodge—the magic array along the path could not shake his 500-million shield, and due to his immunity effect, it couldn't even halt his advance.

"There must be a secret here!"

It was said that for over a decade, very few in Longshan City had ever reached the depths of Yangshan and returned unharmed—especially in recent years, since Yin Man issued the Yangshan Ordinance, no one had come at all.

Very few people in Longshan City could venture deep into Yangshan and return safely, especially in recent years—since Yin Man issued the Yangshan Ordinances, no one had come at all.

He recalled how the Dropped Items from his previous kill of Yin Man had been wildly unreasonable.

Thinking about it, the items dropped from killing Yin Man earlier didn't make sense.

"Could this be Yin Man's treasury?"

Luo Chenyu was immediately intrigued.

As for money…

He had zero resistance to it.

At once, he quickened his pace and hurried up the small mountain path.

Before long.

He reached the halfway point of the mountain.

A steel-cast great door came into view.

But, to his astonishment, the steel door was actually left ajar, and a cool breeze drifted out through the crack.

The wind was filled with a chilling aura and a foul, fishy stench.

"Something's off!"

The treasury he had imagined could never look like this.

"Go in and take a look — maybe… it has something to do with the ground rats, who knows!"

Luo Chenyu didn't think too much about it. He walked up to the steel door and suddenly kicked it hard.

"Boom!!"

A terrifying force of nearly twenty thousand points — no mere steel door could withstand it. In an instant, the steel door was blasted flying by the immense force.

"Bang!!"

Along with the sound of the door hitting the ground, the pitch-black environment suddenly became bright and open.

Countless lights converged, every beam aimed at one direction — the center of the cave.

There…

The corpse of a strange, vicious beast lay quietly.

3.0　The vicious beast's corpse was not large — only a little over four meters. Its appearance closely resembled a fierce tiger, except a single horn grew from the top of its head, and its tusks jutted out, sharp and fully exposed.

The reason it was a corpse was that Luo Chenyu could clearly see parts of the beast's body had already rotted, some places even deep enough to expose bone.

On its forehead was not a "Wang," but a capital "Lu"!

On the surface of the vicious beast's corpse, red-black energy churned.

"This is…"

"A zombie!!"

This shuttling red-black energy, and last night's one-eyed giant zombie…

One couldn't say they were similar — one could only say they were identical.

Luo Chenyu looked all around, but found no trace of any human. What there was, was a mess of scattered objects.
